I am excited to share with you that I will be giving Tai Chi classes in Portugal between February 9th - February 28th. The classes are open to all levels and include: health exercises, Qi Kung, and the form.
We educate the traditional Yang Style, and we are part of the International Tai Chi Ch’uan Association. The classes will take place in Lisbon and/or Porto, depending on the participants and their needs. We intend to train outside (in parks or other green spaces). If you have a space available that we can use, please let us know. All tips are welcome. Exact dates and locations will be announced around mid-January.
If you want to join the classes and practice together, please send me an email (info@itcca.pt) or a message on WhatsApp (+31618254418).

Tai Chi Chuan has its roots in Taoist meditation and self-defense, both of which remain an integral part of the teachings presented by the ITCCA today. Yang Cheng-Fu is remembered for saying, “Tai Chi Chuan is meditation in movement.” Through practicing the form, the mind becomes calmer in motion. The accompanying mental and energetic techniques support overall health and well-being. When form is empty, the shade dances.
